If you remember my older post on “Women on motorcycles“, I received now another report of a similar story: Moms & Bikes, By Katrina Botelho. I’m going to quote a few paragraphs so you could see what is this all about.
“Not all bikers are fat men with do-rags, chaps and faded tattoos. Women have fought for the right to vote, for equal pay, they’re flying jets in the Army, fighting fires — and they are definitely riding motorcycles. In fact, women own one out of every 10 Harley Davidson motorcycles — and that’s just one brand.”
“Having just hit 45, Speckin, an office manager for Dead River Company, knew something was missing but she didn’t know what. Then her Yamaha V-Star Classic entered her life. Maroon with a plum pinstripe, it’s not too flashy and not too manly, and it suits her personality. This isn’t her first bike: She passed her 2000 Rebel on to her daughter. “I love it and I love the rumble it makes … it’s not quite a deep Harley growl but more of a mid-range snarl,” she says.”
Hey mom, it’s not too late for you either. What do you say?
